Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk.
When a dependent clause (starting with 'although') precedes the independent clause, a comma separates them.
(A) lacks the comma; (C) places it incorrectly after 'although'
(D) uses a semicolon, which is wrong for this construction.
